What’s at stake

In the past 10 years, over 2,500 people have died in a truck related accident on our roads. Being a truckie is Australia’s most dangerous job. Low wages, long hours, no time for maintenance and tight timeframes from wealthy retailers like Aldi put huge pressure on trucking companies and drivers, all of which puts every road user at risk.

Truck drivers and our communities know that things have to change. That’s why, for over 20 years, drivers across Australia, through our union, the TWU, have been fighting for Safe Rates and safer roads for all Australians.
